Abstract

We present measurements of exclusive π+,0 and η production in pp reactions at 1. 25GeV and 2. 2GeV beam kinetic energy in hadron and dielectron channels. In the case of π+ and π0, high-statistics invariant-mass and angular distributions are obtained within the HADES acceptance as well as acceptance-corrected distributions, which are compared to a resonance model. The sensitivity of the data to the yield and production angular distribution of Δ(1232) and higher-lying baryon resonances is shown, and an improved parameterization is proposed. The extracted cross-sections are of special interest in the case of pp → ppη, since controversial data exist at 2. 0GeV; we find σ = 0. 142±0. 022mb. Using the dielectron channels, the π0 and η Dalitz decay signals are reconstructed with yields fully consistent with the hadronic channels. The electron invariant masses and acceptance-corrected helicity angle distributions are found in good agreement with model predictions.
